A.Einstein considered a linear connection $\nabla$ with torsion $T$ on a smooth manifold equipped with a nonsymmetric (0,2)-tensor $G=g+F$, where $g$ is a pseudo-Riemannian metric associated with gravity, and $F\ne0$ is a skew-symmetric…

We investigate rigidity and stability properties of critical points of quadratic curvature functionals on the space of Riemannian metrics. We show it is possible to "gauge" the Euler-Lagrange equations, in a self-adjoint fashion, to become…

Given a convex body $K \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ with the barycenter at the origin we consider the corresponding K{\"a}hler-Einstein equation $e^{-\Phi} = \det D^2 \Phi$. If $K$ is a simplex, then the Ricci tensor of the Hessian metric $D^2…
